HAIR WAVER.

Application filed February 15, 1926. Serial No. 88,347.

My invention relates to hair wavers or crimpers, in which heat is imparted to the hair by means of a small receptacle carried by one of the arms of the device. In this class of devices it is difficult to heat the iron uniformly, and thus the hair is burnt or liable to be rendered lifeless or injured by the same. By means of my device a uniform heat may be attained and for some time preserved.

Afurther object of the device is to so construct the same that it will be neat, durable, easily handled, cheaply manufactured, and can be filled with ease.

in the drawings forming a part of this specification, in which like symbols of reference represent corresponding parts in the several views:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device; and

Figure 2 is a view with the handles removed, to show the position of the arms when the device is in operation.

In the drawings the numeral 1 represents one of the handles carrying the arms 3, which form a within which the central arm 10, carried by handle 4, is adapted to operate. 5 the hot water container or tanlr, the same being supported upon arm 10. The arm forms the bottom of the hot vater receptacle. 6 is a screw cap on the tanl: for the purpose of filling the same; and T a nipple upon which the screw-cap 6 is screwed. 11 is a valve closing an opening in the cap, the same having the side 12 connected to the cap, thus forming a spring valve for the escape of pressure. The object of the valve is to normally close the opening in the cap, but to permit escape of excessive prersure due to steam.

8 are the outer waves on the bottom of the tanlai, the same receiving arms in the operation of the device.

The operationof the device will be ap parent from the foregoing description. By the use of my device the iron does not become smoked or otherwise soiled, which in turn prevents the hair being tarnished. The arms or prongs of the device do not become sufficiently hot to burn the scalp. Another advantage is that the hair oils and dressings may be added to the iron direct, which adds a beautiful luster and permanency to the wave of the hair.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is

1. A hair-waving device, consisting of handles hinged near their centres, prongs formed on one of the handles, and a tank carried by the other handle and adapted to contain a heating liquid.

2. A hair-waving device, comprising a plurality of arms hinged near their centres, at liquid receptacle carried by one of the arms said receptacle arm connected to the bottom of the receptacle, a plurality of recesses formed on the bottom of the receptacle, and prongs formed on the other arm and adapted to be received in the recesses of the receptacle.

3. A hair-waving device, comprising a pair of arms hinged near their. centres, a liquid receptacle carried by one of the arms, an inlet in the receptacle having a valve for escape of excessive pressure, recesses on the bottom of the receptacle, and prongs formed on the other arm and adapted to be received in the recesses of the receptacle.

4. A hair-waving appliance, comprising a hot-water receptacle having a waved surface, a handle member rigidly carried by said receptacle and extending from one side thereof, a lever member intersecting and pivoted to the handle member, and a pressure device carried at one end of the lever member and adapted to press the hair against the waved surface of the receptacle when the opposite end of the/lever member is pressed towards the outer end of the handle member.

5. A hair-waving appliance, comprising a hot water receptacle having a hollow rib upon one face, a handle member rigidly carried by said receptacle and extending from one side thereof, a lever member intersecting and pivoted to the handle member, and a bifurcated pressure member carried at one end of the lever member and adapted to engage upon opposite sides of the rib and to press the hair over the said rib, when the opposite end of the lever member is pressed towards the outerend of the handle member.

. In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
